I was not expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. This book is a roller coaster of emotions. Some of them dark and sad. I was really enamored with both Helen and Hanna. Their relationship reminded me many times of my own childless Great Aunt who treated loved me with her whole heart and only wanted what was best for me. I really loved Helen and Hanna. I think this might definitely be an older teen/more mature teen book because of the tough subject matter at times. However, I can do nothing but sing it's praises and put it on my list of books I loved even though they made me cry.
